glorious spring wishes



Hi Everyone!  I've been busy working on some things that I can't share yet, but I had this card that I hadn't shared here yet.  I made this card for the May Stampavie newsletter.  The next newsletter will come out in July so be sure to sign up to receive it (it's free!).  The image is called Oh Happy Day and it's from the Laurence Collection.  I paired the image with some patterned papers from Echo Park's Springtime Collection.


The image was stamped on copic x-press it cardstock with tuxedo black memento ink and colored with copic markers.  I used these markers: T3, T5, R20, RV32, RV34, V95, V99, RV29, Y35, Y38, YR14, W1, W3, W5, W7. W9. E33, E35. E37, YG93. YG95, BG10, colorless blender.  I die cut the image with a rectangle nestability die.  I finished off my card with some buttons, some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, some punched leaves (using Martha Steward Leaf Frond punch), and a sentiment from Waltzingmouse's Spring Baskets stamp set.

Hope you're having a wonderful week!

Niki
